  • I'd get a higher end PSU. Check the PSU Tier List.
  • Don't get the 2TB Blue, it's only 5400 RPM. Good for mass storage, horrible for games.
  • Get dual channel RAM. Ryzen takes a significant hit with single channel.

In my opinion, I'd go for a bit of a cheaper power supply and also go for like an NZXT S340 to save some money and manage to scrounge up like enough money for 8 more gigabytes of RAM because I have almost the same exact build and I 100% regret cheaping out on the RAM and only getting 8gb or if you do, make sure to get 3200mhz RAM because it actually has a difference on performance.

Thanks for any opinions!

 

Case: Choked for air

PSU: Go for a highly rated gold unit at minimum

RAM: Ryzen loves fast memory in dual channel

Motherboard: Alright

GPU: 3GB is bad, go for the 6GB instead

CPU: Fine

Storage: 5400rpm will be unbearably slow

SSD: Will do, though I prefer Crucial for budget drives
